New Spotted Gum Timber flooring was installed on the upstairs and downstairs levels at a recently built new house at Cannon Hill. A decorative Spotted Gum timber parquetry floor had been laid in the entry as a standout feature of this new home. It was the owners desire to have the wooden floor looking as natural as possible at the completion of the floor sanding and polishing project. To obtain the desired look the best timber floor finish to achieve this was a water based coating system.

Budget Floor Sanding’s water based finish of choice, is Loba and on this timber floor the low sheen mat, satin finish was used.

The timber floor coating used on the spotted gum provides a lovely soft lustre and being a water based finish the coating will be resistant to yellowing as it ages. As a low VOC product (volatile organic compounds) the smell of the product is very low compared to a solvent based polyurethane floor coating product. Polyurethane finishes will yellow with age and in time start to obscure the original timber colour.

The hardwood Jarrah timber floor sanded and ready for a Walnut stain to be applied to the wooden floor.

Floor sanding this Brisbane Morningside home, required the previously sanded and polished Jarrah hardwood timber flooring to be stripped back. The home had recently been purchased by an interstate family who disliked the red coloured Jarrah timber floor, preferring instead a dark Walnut colour which may be described as as a Hampton’s look.

A complete re sanding of the large areas of previously sanded and polished timber floors, was required before any staining could commence. In order to achieve this transformation, Budget Floor Sanding Brisbane stripped the timber floor of the original coating, by sanding the wooden floors with multiple grades of premium floor sanding sand paper. After the floor sanding stage, the wood floor was stained with a Feast Watson Prooftint Walnut Stain to alter the look of the wooden floor. Removing the underlying red timber colour is not an easy task to accomplish. The walnut stain must be very strong, and even then additional stain was applied to the polyurethane top coats to enhance the walnut stain and further remove the red Jarrah colour.

The timber floor was then finished by coating with a satin polyurethane floor finish. And then the Hampton’s transformation was complete, all by floor sanding and staining the timber floor darker.

If you are looking to change the look and feel of your home, floor sanding and staining wood floors is a cost effective way to dramatically achieve a new appearance. To transform your timber floors, contact Brisbane’s professional floor sanders and polishers, Budget Floor Sanding for beautiful stained wooden floors.
